*Recipe* Dilly Beans

I started getting the Martha and Marley Spoon dinner delivery box a couple months ago, and one of the first recipes that came in the box was a delicious Dilly Bean salad with fresh dill and green beans. Everyone knows that I love pickles and this dish is so light and simple that I just had to try to make it on my own.  I think I have it mastered and wanted to share it with all you pickled bean lovers out there!

Ingredients

-1/2 lb green beans

-2 shallots trimmed and thinly sliced

-1/4 cup red wine vinegar

-1/2 bunch fresh dill (about 1 cup)

-1 clove garlic finely chopped

-2 tsp salt

-2 tsp sugar

Directions

-Bring a large sauce pan of salted water to a boil.

-trim stem ends from beans and cut in half.

-trim ends from shallots then halve, peel and thinly slice.

-In a medium bowl, combine vinegar, whole dill, sliced shallot, garlic, sugar and salt.

-Add beans to saucepan and cook until tender crisp, about 3 minutes.

-Use slotted spoon to transfer beans to vinegar mixture and stir in 3/4 cup of cooking water and let cool.

-Use slotted spoon to transfer beans, shallots and dill to plate.

Enjoy!

Thank you to Marley and Martha Spoon for the recipe!
